2-0 now. I worry about OGS getting the sack and them appointing Poch

He won’t get the level of support there he got from Levy, United are fudged until they replace Woodward.

If a club can’t succeed with LvG or Jose as manager then there is something rotten elsewhere.

I worry about them appointing anyone. Having Woodward in charge of player recruitment and a some puppet doing the coaching is perfect really.

Yes. The lack two CMs but a decent manager could get more out of their squad than OGS does. Martial, Greenwood, Fernandes, DVDB, Rashford gives them good options going forward and Maguire and Wan Bissaka are decent PL players, and Henderson is a top keeper.

As long as Woodward stays it'll be fine. Mourinho now proving how much of a liability Woodward is.

Need Southampton to drop points really

Yes, with the resources/cash which they have, finishing outside the top 4 is appalling. If they flogged Pogba and De Gea and signed 2 CMs and a CB (oh, and got a new manager), they could challenge for the title

Really? They won't be in the top 4 come May so I'm not bothered how many points they take!

They don't have the quality to do this for a whole season. Just look at Everton now compared to the first month of the season.

Since they got tonked by Leicester a year ago they have been playing at top 4 form (iirc) i wouldn't be writing them off.

Everton was a flash in the pan. Southampton have been running at top 4 form for over a year now

Its fine, we’re not gonna finish outside of the top 1.

 

[MKSpur]

I’d fine Cavani a weeks wages for not having his boots laced up to start the 2nd half!

 

[MKSpur]

This might be the last time we see De Gea on the prem. next goal key though United more than capable of getting back into this

 

[MKSpur]

2-1 now. They’ve not had their pen yet either

 

[nayenezgani]

Draw would still be funny.

 

[AdamB]

2-2. Would still be a good result for us. No more goals please!

Can’t see it. Southampton need to score again to avoid defeat imo

It's a bit like us challenging for titles by form of a period of time that isn't the beginning and ending of the league..

They might be playing like a top four team but I haven't seen them in the top four for a while (ideally they'll nick a winner here)

 

[MKSpur]

3-2 ffs

 

[Kandi1977]

Oh fudge off you lucky Manure clams!!

 

[MKSpur]

To be fair to Ole he gets a lot of criticism but that half time sub was a master stroke. Taking off De Gea improves them no end
